CVE-2025-57613
FFmpeg Null Pointer Dereference Denial of Service
Description
An issue was discovered in rust-ffmpeg 0.3.0 (after comit 5ac0527) A null pointer dereference vulnerability in the input() constructor function allows an attacker to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is triggered when the avio_alloc_context() call fails and returns NULL, which is then stored and later dereferenced by the Io struct's Drop implementation.
